FC2 on Alpha

[Andrija Pantovic]

After quite some time I managed to get built-in USB controler in my PWS600 
(OHCI USB Contaq Microsystems 82c693) initialized !
It seems that IDE driver for integrated IDE controller in that same chip is 
disabling somehow USB controller: after I rebuilt the kernel having IDE 
support modular and loaded generic IDE driver instead of  82c693 IDE driver 
my USB controller started responding. 82c693 IDE driver was already mentioned 
on some mailing lists as being problematic. 
This solution may affect pople using havily IDE disks since the performance 
could be much worse but in standard configurations of PWSs IDE is used for 
CDROMs only.
